I'm enjoying this anime so far for what it is. I'm not too impressed but it is still enjoyable. The "twist" from this episode wasn't really that hard to figure out... Siesta died a year ago --> Nagisa had a heart transplant a year ago --> She was drawn to Kimihiko. I knew it right away. Also seems like they're rushing the series which is fine. Still like it so far.

Cheap waifu bait that pretends its something more ... hmm.

Nonetheless thank God, the heavens had mercy on us this week and we were not forced to sit through another 40+ minutes of those god awful pretentious pseudo intellectual dialogues, but just a regular more bearable 20+ minutes full of pretentious pseudo intellectual dialogues. Dumb as a brick main everdude still acts as a dumb as a brick everdude but this time he dont shiver in excitement everytime a smug loli calls him a baka ...

Previous season it was that Moriarty/Sherlock show, now this .. Japanese really do enjoy their pretentious shows lately don't they. Is there like a high school writing summer contest in progress now in Japan or something ?

lol, these words coming from a guy with an average score rating of 4.5

This is just getting weirder and weirder. but I still kinda enjoyed it a lil' bit. I'll give more episodes a try on this one.
what next? Siesta's brain got transplant into another girl?

yeaa I thought the same thing.
moreover, the amount of BGM they used in one scene makes the pacing weird. the BGM just suddenly changes in seconds and that's what makes it feel off imo.

This episode feels like nothing really happens compare to last episode. It’s so obvious when she tells him she had a heart transplant.

Idk so far there’s no mystery at all because everything is spoonfed and the writing has zero viewer engagement. Even hyouka has more mystery than this anime.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

So Siesta's heart is inside Nagisa. I'm interested in the fate of Siesta more than anything else.

Hmmm i'm kinda conflicted about this anime atm. It was one of my most anticipated anime from the summer season but the first two episodes have been a bit of a letdown.

I'll stick with it though, there's potential.

Weird pacing, hear that it close to source, so not quite an adaptation issue. Like suddenly at classroom conflict, just skip 3 years adventure + 1 year.
People say interactions are weird, yes but dialogue mostly makes sense. Nagi gets a pass since she's dual souls undergoing an identity crisis, but that tsundere slant very annoying vs ep1. No prefs on Siesta/heart yet. Fuubi quite uncommunicative since her inspector role, likely helps mc in the background but can't openly admit anything.
Kimi kinda soulless feels not the best mc to carry a show. A calm seeking guy like Hyouka mc, but Kimi has way less character.
Nice twist on the heart, but a big reveal nobody talks about is when did Bat turn blind? Was he always blind & used only this super hearing?

It was one hell of a convoluted way to reveal where the heart came from, especially considering it was obvious right from the start. I assume the other girl got the eye. Did they just use Siesta for spare parts? How many girls with her organs are out there...

So I looked this up and yeah, apparently there's quite a bit of scientific precedent backing the idea that heart transplants can (and have) changed the personality of the recipient to match the donor.

Anyways WOAH that loli came out of nowhere.

Ayo wtf they had sex (mc and siesta). The show is ruined i guess. Episode 2: "We won at the casino and then at the hotel...😩" One phrase ruined the whole show for me

Seems like the plot still hasn't picked up, guess I'll stick to it till I see what it is actually about. Anyway, new girl is a bitch, MC is boring as ever, dialogues continue to be cringe and animation has become shit as expected. Another character is here, maybe she is also related to Siesta in some way.

I don't like the new character, she's very annoying and wtf that ending, a loli? OK.

But I like the rest of the episode.

That wouldn't have worked, siesta wasn't her legal name.


Not sure if its true, but in the anime Idoly Pride, they say that in Japan, organ donor information is legally kept private, even from the person receiving the organ.

(Coincidentally, the new girl who showed up at the end, Yui, her voice actress was also in Idoly Pride).


Well they should commented that in the episode, because for anyone who don't know this piece of information this episode was just stupid. Even if every japanese person know this just looking for that guy in the first place doesn't make any sense, try to bribe your doctor or something first please.

Saying the name of the anime in the anime! 😯

Golly, Kimi and Siesta sure have been on some adventures haven't they (according to the former)? Y'know, they could've just made the entire series around that lol. A romantic comedy mystery adventure thingy!~

The detective may be dead, but she's alive in Kimi's heart!

As if Siesta's death wasn't enough, now her heart is inside the new girl Natsunagi. Damn this is too heartbreaking.

The climax being pretend touching and intense was really annoying. They didn't show anywhere near enough of their relationship for the scene to hold any meaning. Solid premise and cute designs but this is lacking the spark, the urgency of great shows that makes scenes compelling

Three years since Siesta's death, quite sad they axed her in only the second episode. Those years have done a deal on Kimizuka. May have been from Siesta's death, but his personality seems to have changed, taking up the role as a detective but still referring to himself as a "sidekick".

Interested to see Nagisa backstory, was it really a coincidence that Siesta's heart ended transplanted inside her? Resulting in her now in a "wrong place wrong time" scenario where she's looped into this world of secret organizations, android and more?

Not to get to philosophical here, but the whole "Siesta's heart being in Nagisa, means she's also Siesta" that i feel this anime is hinting at doing, feels kinda rash. I get the theory that people have felt unexplainable changes to their everyday life when something as vital as their heart gets changed, but i feel like this anime is slightly going overboard with the theory, like with Kimizuka, he grabs Nagisa to hug her and apologies to her, when instead its all directed to Siesta, and Nagisa is justifying her feelings on Siesta's heart. IDK i'm probably other thinking this, this is only ep2 so i'll give it time.

Hmmmmmm. Yeah I don't like this direction. It just feels a bit weird like NTR but not. Don't like the new girl so that's probably adding to it. Plus he was talking to her like we've been through an entire series of hardships with those two when we literally have just been on two. So the entire scene just felt a bit weird. We went from a really enjoyable first episode to a really meh second episode. Guess that's what happens when you take out the most interesting character who is basically the face of this series. No idea how they're gonna reintroduce her. I hope they do it soon though.

Damn they really killed off best girl from the start. Disappointing in sidekick Kimi here, he couldn't even figure out that it was obviously Siesta's heart in Natsunagi on his own especially after their nostalgic interactions. Heck even that officer Fuubi figured it out immediately.

I found interesting to see people seething for 3 whole month, when an anime get Sakuga, but not their AOTY.

The plotwist was obvious from the first second she talked abouth heart, but the whole revelation with the ear guy was really satisfying.

The search who the heart seeks and to find whose heart it is could've been an entire arc or season.

Sad to see the cute and young detective is truly gone. But for some reason I'm bothered that her heart is transplanted into another person. Like it cemented she's truly gone. At least it saved another one.

Hm, time skip.. 3 years, or somewhat more.. Maybe 4, as blonde guy tells later in the episode..
Now maybe Kimi learnt some of Siesta's methods..
70% of the crime, huh.. Well, that's certainly a lot..
Hm, wonder if Nagisa could become assistant to Kimi now.. With how she follows him.. Or become the detective herself..
Yeah, it was hinted by blondy himself right at start of their talk, so I understood it's Siesta's heart.. Or at least with the blood of her.. As she could have donated blood, for example, and this way there is possibility heart would be touched by her blood.. Well.. I just can see that maybe she not necessary died, but faked death, or something, who knows.. Or maybe she is dead.. We'll see, I think.. But both things are possible, I feel..

I thought there was a possibility that they were faking her death to escape from the criminal organisation, but with this the possibility is much lower I suppose.
